Nobody’s Perfect: Glenn Beck II
Nobody’s Perfect
You would think he would learn: Glenn Beck, I believe, lost his job at FOX News because he started preaching God and religion. He started out being a teacher, an informer of conservative ideals, and did in a way that was a lot of fun. We were learning things from him…he became a big hit on FOX.
And then, he decided the nation needed to be saved, and God had picked him to do it.
Glenn Beck, became a religious zealot. You know, religious people just don’t get it. Religion is better off as a private affair…but when ‘leaders’ start ruling in the name of the “Lord” or “Allah” you get…wars.
Just look at what’s happening in the Middle East right now: Shea VS Sunni, Christians VS ISIS.
It’s never good. And it not only the different Muslim sects that fight…how about the long war between the Catholics and the Presbyterians?
A Hessian officer, in 1778 said this:
Call this war by whatever name you may, only call it not an American rebellion: it is nothing more of less than a Scotch Irish Presbyterian rebellion.
First, let me say I am all for churches and the Christian religion. Churches have served a great purpose all throughout history…as places were neighbors can get together…and find comfort and friendships, something that makes all life easier to bear.
But it always happens: Some “zealot” decides he knows God, and then like Kings, they start leading their flock, and they use the same tactics to control people that the governments do:
Fear. Blame. Shame.
And when that happens, many times, they lead their flock right into poverty, war, and slavery.
The current Pope is a perfect example.
I considered myself religious. I believe in a higher power, and I like to say prayers to that higher power… but I also believe that the founders had it right: Religion is a private affair..not something to be FORCED upon anybody.
And Glenn Beck, is doing just that. He thinks that Americans (Trump supporters) are unholy, ungrateful, unloving, malicious— brutal and haters of good.
Really Glenn.
Freedom to worship as one chooses was one of the reasons those people risked that scary trip to another land so long ago, or have you forgotten?
Now, Glenn Beck blames you, and I, for the condition of the United States. And if you don’t vote for Ted Cruz, YOU are a sinner. If Cruz does not win Indiana, then the U.S. according to Glenn…is doomed.
Yes—- today is the day all conservatives, according to Glenn Beck, .should vote for Ted Cruz.
Beck wrote,
“I would like to ask that you, your family and friends join me for a day or prayers, fasting and humility. To beg the Lord to not remover His hand from us. To turn to Him and ask that He will heal our land. Beginning Monday night and running for 24 hours on Tuesday will you pray and if possible fast like you have never done before? “
Ha. How many people are going to fast tomorrow for Ted Cruz? Not me. I think “God” is fine with me having breakfast, lunch, and even dinner. I haven’t asked him of course, but then again, I always remember MEN makes up these silly rules, not God, while I dig into my strawberry shortcake.
Yes, Glenn is losing it. Should we admire him for putting so much time and money into the Cruz campaign that he put 40 people out of work at his company?
But hey…he gave them the news from his very own Oval Office!
So what will Glenn do, if the good people of Indiana remember their own religious teachings and vote for Trump? You know, while standing in the voters booth they might remember the—-
“Thou shall not steal.”
And the….
“Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.”
I think God added another one: “Thou shall not lie.” (which may be the same as false witness) ” but…Moses didn’t have enough room on his tablet.
Glenn Beck, is so upset at Trump, he decided to make fun of his “tan” in this video where he and his friends tried to mock the man’s looks.
Sure, Trump has been under some bad sun lamps, but the fact is: Trump fans really could care less.
What the Cruz people do not realize is that Trump fans, want him to be President because so far, he doesn’t steal, lie, or bear false witness. AND he IS the American success story. AND he really does know how to fix the country. Cruz know how…to piss a lot of people off. He seems really good at it.
Religious zealots have a habit of doing that.
Ted Cruz…is just another politician to us.
So, Glenn Beck…go ahead. Fast. Do NOT have that bowl of M & Ms. Get down on your knees and beg God for forgiveness. You have sinned more than most I’m sure…
And pardon me, while I go have another piece of Kentucky Fried Chicken, and watch the Trump train coming to the station in Indiana…
A NEW Lethal Weapon: The Christain Cross
Nobody’s Opinion
It must be hard to be a Christian Cross. Just a simple thing mind you…a simple symbol from history—One which reminds us all that if you $%& with the Roman Empire you WILL get yours. And so, Christians all over the world take comfort in putting simple crosses around their necks, to remind them…that not only did one guy get really screwed to a cross, he did it for them.
But now..you wear one at your own peril.
Drug lord and rappers, who no doubt figure they will be forgiven if they happen to kill a few people in the line of work, wear the cross.
Nobody complains.
BUT…some poor gal in England was FIRED because she wouldn’t take off that offensive cross around her neck.
Two Christian British women have taken their case over religious liberty to the highest level, now set to square off against the Government of the United Kingdom at the European Court of Human Rights over their right to wear a cross or crucifix at work . In opposition to the women, the government will have to state publicly whether it backs the right of Christians to wear the symbol at work. The Telegraph reports that government ministers will argue that because displaying the cross is not a “requirement” of the Christian faith, employers can ban the wearing of the cross and fire workers who insist on doing so:
The descendants of the Romans are at it again. First they came for the Jews, then they came for the Christians, then they came for me…
On the other hand, does a boss have a right to tell his employees what and what not to wear?
Not according to RNow Boudlal.
Boudlal a Moroccan immigrant who is now a US citizen, last week started proceedings against the entertainment empire with the US Equal Opportunity Commission. She claims she was sent home from work seven times without pay after she turned up at the Magic Kingdom wearing her scarf – and says this amounts to religious discrimination.
RNow Boudlal says Disney’s suggested alternative to her hijab – a preposterous-looking combination of bonnet and trilby hat (above, right) – is offensive. “The hat makes a joke of my religion and draws even more attention to me,” she said.
I’d hate to see what happens when Goofy takes them to court.
ONCE upon a time, a “boss” could fire anyone in his business if they didn’t dress the way he wanted them too…But now, you can’t offend anyone, especially the new Muslim immigrant.
British Airways brought in a dress code designed to allow hijabs and turbans but not crosses. It did so by decreeing that religious items might be worn by employees if there was a ‘mandatory scriptural requirement’. An employer should have the right to impose whatever dress code he wants. Ideally, he will be reasonable in exercising this right: commercial self interest and human decency both argue for a uniform that can accommodate religious insignia.
Nobody Thinks that a simple cross necklace is not anything to fire someone over. After all..I’ve been offended by people with tattoo’s of Satan on their forearms, but realize they have to eat too. I figure if Satan wants them, he can have them. I just want my Happy Meal.
And as much as Boudlal wants to show her faith to the tourists at Disneyworld, I’m sorry…Disney has worked very hard on that brand, and if everyone else has to dress accordingly, she should just go work in the kitchen like they offered.
Both religions offend each other, but it seems to me that the Western tradition should stick up for the Christians. You can’t hide a bomb in a cross necklace.
Will the Romans of the European Court decide against the poor British women who is now going broke?
Nobody Knows…But it’s totally acceptable for the Muslims to wear hijabs and publicly pray three times a day during work .
Maybe Christians should start demanding equal prayer time. We have a lot of politicians that need redemption. And on that note…excuse me…I’m going to find that pretty blue cross necklace that I got for my birthday.
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
